Improvements to libxl VIF hotplug/unplug; xapi can now use these functions

This patch set includes:
1. addition of VIF QoS parameters to libxl (this code is ported from xapi/
   xenops)
2. updates to the libxl ocaml bindings to use the new parameters
3. bugfixes to the "xl network-attach" command so the QoS settings can be
   more easily tested.

FYI the corresponding xapi changes are in a branch here:

https://github.com/djs55/xen-api/tree/hackathon

The only code which remains in the xapi VIF hotplug/unplug paths concerns
ethtool settings for VIFs. This could be ported separately if desired.

xapi used to have code for setting the device "protocol" field in xenstore,
depending on the PV kernel architecture. According to IanC, this was always
unnecessary for netback so it has been removed from xapi (and not added to 
libxl)

This was all work done last week at the xen hackathon. Comments, criticism 
etc. are welcome!
